Here's the deal. kids:
This is a '71 Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser.   This is not a luxury SUV. or a maintenance-free disposable POS. It is an iconic classic that turns heads everywhere it goes.  It has solid front axles. wind noise. and character.
It's an FJ.   It rides like an FJ - awesomely.   It drives like an FJ - awesomely.   All of these are GOOD things.
It is not new. it is not pristine. it is used.   This will be apparent in the pictures.


If you do not own a toolbox. have never changed your own oil. and are scared of firearms: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU.
If you have been posting on facebook all about how excited you are for pumpkin latte season: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU.
If you get offended easy and often. whine to your co-workers. and bitch a lot: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU.
If you own a bieber album. white oakleys. affliction t-shirts. or those candy-assed stitched-pocket jeans: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU.
If you consider the 2nd Amendment an anachronistic relic and have never owned a firearm: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU.


If. however. you have BALLS OF STEEL and consider adverse weather an excuse to do stupid shit: THIS IS YOUR RIDE.
Do you laugh at danger. and tempt fate?  
Have you ever uttered the words. "Hold my beer and watch this . "?
While bored at work do you pick targets at random and think. "I could hit that from here with the . 22 . "?
Have any of your friends quit hanging out with you because you were too much fun?
When you pass an abandoned flatbed farm truck along a fenceline do you consider taking on another project?
Is your ol' lady really sick of the random piles of parts. greasy footprints. and empty beer bottles in the garage?
    -could you not care less?
Do you own a service manual for every vehicle you ever owned?
Do you still miss your first ride?
Can you carry on a two hour conversation discussing tools. scars. and hi-lift jacks?
Do you consider the Prius an abominable affront to the Gods of displacement. torque. and All Mighty Internal Combustion?


If you answered in the affirmative to the preceding: THIS IS YOUR RIDE.

DETAILS:
-I am not the first owner.  Who was? How would I know…I wasn't even born in 1971.  This FJ is over 40-years of bad-assedness old.  I doubt I'm the second owner either.  I know it has spend more time in the garage then on the trails in recent years but she's waiting to have a pile of fun with YOU.
-The motor uses a little oil.   How much?  I don't know. I'm not collecting statistical analysis points.   
    I check the oil. I fill the oil. I drive.   Not enough to bother me.   
-It leaks a little oil.   How much?  Not enough for me to care.   It's 43-years old. Poindexter!
    If you have a 43-year old vehicle NOT leaking or burning oil. it's empty!
-The badass little 4. 0L bullet-proof in-line six starts and runs like the proverbial champ.  
-Tires are good for thousands of miles.   I haven't upgraded because I had plans:
    Had planned a small lift and more aggressive tires.
    Life got in the way - it ain't happening.   


QUESTIONS:
-Why are you selling?
    I can't justify owning it anymore.   Kiddos. work. travel. and beer have consumed my time and money.
    Someone else needs to appreciate the Cruiser for what it is:  awesome mechanical artistry.

-What's wrong with it?
    It's 40+ years old.  It ain't perfect.  Some cosmetic issues. but that's where you come in.  
    And it's pissed it has been neglected and parked.   It needs to be rescued.  

-Will you sell me the [engine / tranny / rear door / axle / etc. ]?
    No.   I'm not in the salvage business.   Buy the FJ.   Love the FJ. Give the FJ a home.

-Will you take [insert ridiculously stupid low number here]?
    No.   If I wanted [ridiculously low number] I would have asked [ridiculously low number]
    Want a cheap car?  Get your kid that lowered tuner piece of shit honda project down the road.   
    I think I'm plenty cheap for this bad mofo.

-Why is it still stock?
    Because I bought it with the intention of turning it into a project.
    I haven't had the time to do so.   So I am selling it.

-Can I put a 12" lift and giant tires on it?
    I don't give a shit.   But be sure to use quality components and for God's sake - get it aligned after a lift!

-Would this make a good car for my son?
    Hell.   Yes.   Not only a good car. a learning experience.   Introduction to vehicular maintenance.
    Additionally. every girl in the world will want to ride in his FJ.

-Can you deliver?
    Nope.  You should come get it.   Look it over.   Have a beer.   Etc.

-Will you ship to -?
    No.   See above. Actually. I will work with your shipper if you choose to have it picked up and shipped to your location.

-Will you take a check / cashier's check / Nigerian Promissory Note?
    Would you take a ball pein hammer to the forehead?
    No.  If you pick it up. I'll take Cash.   Period.   Bring cash or don't show. If you have it shipped to you. I will take the PayPal deposit and the balance via wire transfer.
-No. really. all I have is [lowball dollar amount]?
    That's great. I don't give a shit.   Unicef ain't running this deal. and until they do I want $16250.   
    Why?  Because I don't HAVE to sell this little beauty.   Truth be known. I'd rather keep it.
    But if it's going to a good home - I will sell.   Unless you're an a-hole - then no sale.

-Why are you such a dick?
    Everything is relative; you should see my friends.

Any other questions. feel free to ask.
